Model Overview
The Subaru Legacy now has three different engines available for 2008, depending on the model. 2.5 i and 2.5 i Limited models come with a 170-horsepower, 2.5L horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine, while 2.5 GT Limited and Spec.B models get a turbocharged and intercooled 2.5L flat-four making 243 horsepower. At the top of the range is the 3.0 R Limited, which gets a 245-horsepower 3.0L flat-six.The 2.5 i model comes with either a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission, while the 2.5 i Limited comes only with the automatic. The 2.5 GT Limited comes with either five-speed manual or five-speed automatic, but the performance-oriented Spec.B model brings a six-speed manual. The luxurious yet sporty 3.0 R Limited comes only with a five-speed automatic. Models with the five-speed automatic also get steering-wheel paddle shifters and a rev-matching downshift throttle-blipping, which allows some of the driver-control benefits of a manual transmission on curvy, hilly roads.All Legacys have full-time all-wheel drive, Manual-transmission Legacys get a viscous-coupling system that normally splits power equally 50/50 between the front and rear wheels; automatic transmission models use an electronically controlled variable system.The 2.5 GT Limited, 2.5 GT Spec.B, and 3.0 R Limited models get a quicker steering ratio than the other Legacy models, a Bilstein sport suspension with inverted struts, larger brake rotors, and a limited-slip rear differential. They also get a system called SI-Drive, which brings three distinctly different personalities to the throttle (and shift behavior, if equipped with an automatic transmission). Controlled via a center-console dial, SI-Drive can deliver sharper throttle response and more power sooner in "Sport Sharp" mode. "Sport" mode offers more linear acceleration, while "Intelligent" mode smoothes the throttle response for stop-and-go traffic, for instance, and can help improve fuel economy.The Legacy is an Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety Pick Gold--signifying the Legacy's top crash-test ratings in all of the agency's categories--and comes with standard front-seat side air bags, side-curtain air bags, active head restraints, and a safety brake pedal system. Four-wheel anti-lock brakes with electronic brakeforce distribution are standard, while electronic stability control is standard on the 2.5 GT Spec.B and 3.0 R Limited models and optional on 2.5 i Limited and 2.5 GT Limited models.The base 2.5 i comes with most popular equipment for a mid-size, value-priced sedan, including air conditioning, cruise control, remote keyless entry, and a six-speaker CD sound system with auxiliary input. The 2.5 i Limited adds heated seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, heated mirrors, leather upholstery, projector-beam fog lamps, and a windshield wiper de-icer. The 2.5 i Limited, in addition to the turbocharged engine and a host of technical improvements, also brings larger 17-inch Z-rated tires, a power passenger seat, sport front seats, and foldable, body-color outside mirrors. A touch-screen navigation system is available on 2.5 GT spec.B and 3.0 R Limited models, and optional on the 2.5 GT Limited.The sporty 2.5 GT spec.B comes with the most distinctive interior, bringing a three-spoke MOMO steering wheel, aluminum-alloy pedal covers, and leather-trimmed upholstery with suede-like Alcantara inserts.Also of note is the Special Edition model, which adds a power moonroof and height-adjustable driver's seat to the base 2.5 i equipment. A remote engine starter is available as an option on the premium models.

Cosworth teases upgrades for Subaru BRZ

Mon, 19 May 2014

Subaru may or may not produce an STI version of the BRZ. Things seem to go back and forth on the subject. But Subaru Tecnica International isn't the only company with a history of tuning Subies. So does Cosworth, and now the British racing firm appears to be turning its attention to the BRZ and its Toyota- and Scion-badged siblings.
For those unacquainted, Cosworth is more than your average tuning company. It's a racing firm first and foremost, having made F1 engines under its own name as well as Ford's (chief among them the all-conquering DFV 3.0-liter V8 of 1960s and 70s fame), not to mention engines for Indy, rally and even high-performance, road-going versions of the Ford Sierra, Chevy Vega and Mercedes 190E. The list goes on and on, but you get the point.
Now withdrawing from Formula One, Cosworth is focusing its attention on tuning road cars again with the launch of the Cosworth Power Package line, the first of which will focus on the Toyota GT86 (aka Scion FR-S) and Subaru BRZ. We don't know just yet what will be included in the packaged dubbed FA-20, but from the video teaser below, it seems there'll be upgrades to the exhaust, suspension, aero and - if we're lucky - maybe a super- or turbocharger for the 2.0-liter flat-four engine. We'll have to wait and see, but we get the feeling that with Cosworth on the job, it'll be worth the wait. Check out the minute-long video below in the meantime.

Subaru facing class-action suit over excess oil use

Tue, 22 Jul 2014

A recently filed lawsuit in federal court against Subaru of America and its parent Fuji Heavy Industries claims that several recent models burn an excessive amount of oil. The case, which is seeking class-action status, covers examples of the 2011-2014 Forester, 2013 Legacy and 2013 Outback with the 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and the 2012-2013 Impreza and 2013 XV Crosstrek with the 2.0-liter four-cylinder.
The suit alleges that Subaru knew about the excessive oil consumption but didn't fix the problem, according to USA Today. It contends that owners have to spend an unreasonable amount of money to keep these models topped up with Texas tea, and that the people represented wouldn't have bought the vehicle if they had known that this could happen.
As proof of Subaru's knowledge of excessive oil use, the lawsuit cites four technical service bulletins from the company telling dealers about the issue, although, that would seem to partially invalidate the claim that the automaker hasn't attempted to fix things. The case was filed on behalf of two men, one with a 2014 Forester and the other with a 2013 Outback. "Following an extensive investigation, we now look forward to litigating the case," said Matthew Schelkopf, an attorney for the plaintiffs, to USA Today.

Are you the Subaru WRX Concept for New York?

Tue, 26 Mar 2013

When Subaru dropped a hint about bringing an "all-new performance concept car" to the New York Auto Show this year, we immediately started hoping and praying that a conceptual iteration of the next WRX was in the offing. Looks like that might have paid off. While no official word has yet been written or uttered from Subaru, a French website called Blog Automobile has released a gallery of images that would seem to spill the beans about the WRX Concept.
If the leaked images are correct - and they look awfully complete and well done if they're not - WRX styling is taking a turn for the handsome. The sleek sedan in these images has all of the cues that we've come to expect from our rally-ready Imprezas: a dominating hood scoop and very wide stance with beefy wheels, and seems to miss only the rear wing to fit the perfect WRX stereotype. (And, yes, it should have gold wheels.)
There's no press release to be found, but the source is citing specifications as if it knows what it's talking about. We're told that 275 to 300 horsepower are the likely output of the turbocharged boxer four-cylinder engine, and that brakes with ventilated discs and six-piston calipers are there to haul the all-wheel-drive Scooby down from speed. If our earlier reporting is correct, we might expect to find an electric turbo under that imposing hood, too.
